Defending champion Argentina defeated Switzerland on July 12 (KST) to advance to the semifinals of the North and Central America World Cup. However, Switzerland continues to raise issues regarding the scene where Breel Embolo was sent off due to accumulated yellow cards.

In the middle of the second half, with the score tied at 1-1, Embolo received his second yellow card for simulation and was sent off. The referee initially gave a yellow card to Argentina's Leandro Paredes, but after a VAR review, he canceled that decision and instead issued a yellow card to Embolo.

Swiss manager Murat Yakin and captain Granit Xhaka acknowledged that the decision followed the rules, but they strongly protested, arguing that the referee's unnecessary initial yellow card and the VAR protocol, which has been expanded starting from this tournament, changed the flow of the game.

Sports Mug summarizes why Switzerland is furious with the referee and VAR, even though the misjudgment was corrected.
